You may recall that former NFL wide receiver Titus Young got into some trouble last weekend in Moreno Valley.

The ex-Detroit Lion was arrested on suspicion of DUI just after midnight Sunday, May 5, after making an illegal left turn in front of a sheriff's patrol car, according to Riverside County Sheriff's Department officials. It only took 14 1/2 hours for him to be arrested again, this time after deputies said he tried to hop the fence at the impound lot where his car had been towed.

This time around, he managed to make it a whole 5 1/2 days before finding himself back behind bars. His third arrest in a week happened early Saturday, May 11, in San Clemente, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Department. Online records say Young was arrested after police were called at 11:57 p.m. to a burglary in progress.

He's been charged with burglary, assault on a police officer and resisting arrest, according to the Detroit News. Here's more from their report:

(Young) broke into a home on the 3700 block of Calle Casino, according to Lt. Joe Balicki of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.

When officers arrived at the home, Young fled on foot, and after a brief pursuit, he fought with the officers, Balicki said Sunday.

"There was a brief struggle," he said. "He wanted to fight with the deputies. They ended up subduing him."

... Neither Young nor the officers were injured in the struggle, Balicki said. There was also nothing stolen from the home, according to the sheriff's department.

Young -- whose occupation is listed as "unemployed" -- remains in custody, with bail set at $75,000, and is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday, according to booking records.

The Detroit Lions released Young early this year. He was claimed off waivers by the St. Louis Rams – who released him 10 days later.>
